Client Overview
As part of their continued growth, Meditech secured a 9,700 sq ft industrial unit in Minworth, Birmingham. The objective was clear:
- Create two fully self-contained warehouse units for operational flexibility
- Develop a high-specification Customer Experience Centre to demonstrate automation systems in a professional, controlled environment
- Ensure full regulatory compliance across fire, structural, acoustic and thermal standards
- Deliver a space aligned with their corporate brand and healthcare-sector credibility
OTK Shopfitters were appointed due to our proven expertise in complex industrial reconfiguration, mezzanine construction, and compliance-driven commercial fit-outs.
The Requirement
Meditech needed more than a basic warehouse subdivision. The project required:
- Structural engineering integration
- Fire-rated industrial partitioning
- Mezzanine floor installation
- Office, welfare and reception fit-out
- A branded, two-level showroom environment
- Full compliance with UK Building Regulations and CDM standards
The facility needed to operate as both a logistics hub and a client-facing demonstration centre — combining industrial durability with corporate presentation.
What We Delivered
1. 9,700 sq ft Warehouse Reconfiguration
We transformed a single distribution warehouse into two independent operational units, each featuring:
- Dedicated roller shutter doors and loading bays
- Independent reception entrances
- Fully fitted offices, kitchens, and washrooms
- Integrated mechanical and electrical services
- Fire-rated partition systems built to certified standards
All works were completed in accordance with:
- Approved Documents A (Structure), B (Fire Safety), E (Acoustics) & L (Thermal)
- CDM Regulations 2015
- Health & Safety at Work Act
- Working at Height Regulations
- Structural engineer load certifications
2. 350 m² Structural Mezzanine & Two-Level Customer Experience Centre
Within one warehouse, we designed and installed a structural steel mezzanine system to create a 350 m² two-storey showroom and office facility.
This included:
- Load-bearing steel frame installation
- Engineered floor loading compliance
- Safe high-level installation using scissor lifts and access platforms
- Fire-protected stair cores and balustrade systems
The completed Customer Experience Centre now includes:
- A bespoke illuminated reception desk with integrated branding
- Feature media walls combining timber slat panelling, marble-effect finishes, integrated screens and biophilic elements
- Suspended ceiling grids with recessed commercial lighting
- Presentation and consultation areas
- Seamless transition between warehouse, office and showroom zones
The attached images show both Work in Progress (WIP) and completed environments, illustrating the full transformation process.
Industrial Phase (WIP)
- Structural steel mezzanine framework installation
- Primary and secondary beam construction
- Load-bearing column alignment
- Specialist access equipment including scissor lifts
- Open warehouse prior to full partitioning
This phase demonstrates our capability in:
- Structural steel installation
- Load calculation compliance
